Detailed Description

Operational GFS selection for Solar constant value (namelist control parameter - ISOL = 2)
ISOL=0: presribed value = 1366 \(W m^{-2}\) (old)
ISOL=10: prescibed value = 1361 \(W m^{-2}\) (new)
ISOL=1: NOAA old yearly solar constant table with 11-year cycle (range: 1944-2006)
ISOL=2: NOAA new yearly solar constant table with 11-year cycle (range: 1850-2019)
ISOL=3: CMIP5 yearly solar constant table with 11-year cycle (range: 1610-2008)
ISOL=4: CMIP5 monthly solar constant table with 11-year cycle (range: 1882-2008)
